    yes for me , we badly need experience in the spine of the team and I think he's still got the legs to do it.

    He has the required 'mental' strength (Hide them ashtrays)

    That's Deano not coming back then. . .

    That type of player is just what we need, IMO. It's a shame that he's not 6 years younger though.

    Tis an interesting one, would add steel, not pacey steel but steel nonetheless.

    Thats a backward step, its a no for me, we need younger talent, as I said to my ex wife, going back never works!

    Solid experienced player but i can honestly say i cannot remember ever putting a foot right for us. wasn't good enough back then so why would he be now?

    great signing on a free, good solid player and we need a couple of experienced pro's who don't mind putting it about.

    We need 3 to 4 players who will give it there all, and get stuck in. None of this fairy stuff.

    Toddy maybe? As along has he's a good lad this time.

    A big no from me.

    On paper it sounds ideal, but ask any Derby fan, or scan any forum and to a man they are delighted they are getting rid of him.

    a big no from me too. Freebies are ok but need to be a bit younger and still hungry not an aging has been after a final pay day.

    Really liked him as a player and not just for his fight and aggression but not sure if at his age and wages he is the one we need.

    No, No, No!
    What a backward step that would be, would rather see Chris Perry back than him!
    (mind you that would be a backward step as well!) Just another oldie trying to get a last pay day!

    Maybe Todd, maybe not.

    But definitely need someone like him.

    No, no, no - didn't we learn our lesson on this with Danny Mills? I'd predict a very similar outcome - looks good for a handful of games then becomes a total liability. How many goals did Derby let in??? From the occasional times I saw MOTD, most of them looked like his fault!

    No way, too old, would want too much money. He was awful a few weeks ago, when I saw him.

    I think it would be another JFH situation although I'd certainly take him on if he was a few years younger.

    Thought he did well for us when he was here, apart from fisticuffs with Kiely, but now too old, too slow, too late.

    We could really do with someone like Andy, a tough take no prisoners defender. I met him and his wife after the incident and spent about an hour chatting to him about Football and Charlton, and I found him to be a lovely honest bloke to be fair and his wife was really chatty too.
